10:04 pm
>> i don't think it will change teenagers knowing about it. it wouldn't make a difference whether it was concealed or not. >> geraldo: isn't that kid right it doesn't make a difference? >> it makes a big difference. one the things i admire about mayor bloomberg is he is a student of behaviorial psychology. if you increase the in convenience you will decrease the behavior and consumption. it will reduce consumption absolutely. >> geraldo: like condoms or female hygiene products? >> but condoms is a different issue i think, geraldo are. >> geraldo: ann, are you a student of behavioral science? >> i think i do not want a may wore who is a behavioral scientist ex-pairmenting. the point, we should just have the death penalty for smokers. >> they do have a death penalty
10:05 pm
self-induced. >> everything you can do to try to discourage behavior all comes down on the smoker. there is lots of behavior are that is worse. i praise the mayor for the campaign against teenage pregnancy as he calls it. the problem is unwed pregnancy and the liberals in the new york times upset about the shaming campaign. shaming clearly works. liberals love shaming. >> i agree. >> they love stigmatizing. when they pretend to be wednesday unwed motherhood they can't against it or allow stigmatizing. >> geraldo: before we get to liberals being against the stigmatization of unwed pregnancy stick to the cigarette displays. is the mayor right and isn't this is a giant step in the nanny state it. >> yes, and like big gulp. i think people are aware. i always claim i don't believe the studies on smoking but i'm
10:06 pm
joking. people snow smoking is bad for you and all of the stick the worldcoms down on the one behavior if you make a personal decision that ends up costing others money somebody has to pick up that tab. that is what we found with smoking. not just the second hand smoke. the pollution. et cetera. the healthcare costs to all of us. if we are picking up the tab somebody has to help pay for that. same thing with obesity. those are the things that bloomberg are is addressing. >> but we didn't ask to pick up 9 tab. it is obama care that foisted it. >> you are wrong about that. >> and we have to wore arery about the the smokers because of obama care. >> you said that. >> we have to do something about the gay bathhouses because aids is expensive and if i'm paying for it. >> geraldo: do they still have guy bathhouses?
10:07 pm
>> it is about insurance actuaries and if they determine things cost more money then you see insurance premiums g. the rest of us are hit with the costs. if gay bars were costing everyone a great deal of money and we were picking up the tab you might see enforcement there. that is not the case. >> why do you say it is not the case. >> if we are picking up the tab? >> geraldo: aren't the majority of aids patients on some kind of government coverage because the aids medication costs so much money. >> aids doesn't only affect homosexuals. >> and illegal drug use. mostly in this country it is homosexual behavior. i'm not the one that wants to go anything about it. if the argument is smoking we all have to pay. sodomy we all have to pape. you are saying go ahead and have is the bathhouses and have at it. >> now, i'm probathhouse.
10:08 pm
>> geraldo: are you? >> i'm saying you have crack down on sed odomy. >> a very interesting topic. condoms a very interesting topic. >> geraldo: wait, wait. >> adults should do what they want to do with their own bodies let me say that, however. >> except in the case of smoking? >> whatever the decision you pick up the tab for the the consequences. let's go back to nannies. not just one kind of nanny. there is the kind that you don't seem to like and don't like who is motivated by wanting to save lives. bloomberg is that kind of nanny. other kinds of nannies that want you to eat more and more of the wrong thing and they are motivated by profit. there is not just one kind of nanny. >> geraldo: ann is there more than one kind of nanny. in. >> no, bloomberg is a politically correct nanny as are you. >> geraldo: is he more than -- >> i not actually. >> unless you are the one sodomized. >> going back to bloomberg.
10:09 pm
>> that costs a lot more. you know, if we have the nanny state let's have the nanny state. >> geraldo: at what point is the nanny state really leadership and helping new yorkers to become safer and healthier and live longer? and have pfizer crimes? >> it is whatever they are chattering about at gay bars that suddenly bloomberg will crack down on. >> that is a nonsense thing. >> geraldo: ann is rolling her eyes. finish. go back to the the zay bars. >> the behaviors that liberals approve of they will not is stigmatize. the behaviors they disapprove of. has nothing to do with the body count or healthcare. i will geithner mat icy they are upset bloomberg is stigmatizing. sodomy will not stigmatizing smoking if we are thinking about it for health costs i can think of a lot more things that are costing. >> mimi, what do you think
10:10 pm
about and frisk where police can be proakron ittive if you enjoy and appreciate proactive behavior to prevent a harm? nothing is more grievous than murder. what about stop and frisk to search kids or young people they feel are suspicious and get their guns before they use them? >> in many cases it proved effective so i'm not completely against stopping and frisking. i don't think it is -- i think it is necessary. i think profiling is necessary. that is the times we live in. >> geraldo: so that is a stunning answer from a liberal. >> outraged guys call me a liberal. i'm case by case. >> geraldo: fine with me. ann, what do you think? >> i want to use drones for stop and frisk. >> geraldo: just like a hellfire strike. >> geraldo: what do you think of stop and frisk seriously? >> it's saving lives of course, i'm for it. i'm sorry i have foregotten his name. i didn't know you would ask me about stop and frisk. thraves black councilman, a small child like four years old was shot in a drive also by

10:15 pm
>> i heard like three shots. >> three shots. >> and the baby was shot? in the head. >> she is bleeding? >> she is still alive and she is trying to do cpr. the mother is. >> i hate you and i don't forgive you in that you killed an innocent human life and that i hope you die for it. >> blood flows in the streets of high crime neighborhoods from that case, brunswick georgia to chicago, illinois. new york city enjoying a dramatic drop in murder and gun violence and mayor bloomberg knows why. >> this year murders are down 33% from last year which was a record. they are down 35% from o from r before. they are down 42% from the year before that. this past week with the city of 8.4 million people we had one murder. i can't imagine any rational
10:16 pm
person saying that the techniques are not working and that we should stop them. >> i have had this experience all too many times and many of my comrades and friends, relatives have also had the same experience of being stopped for no reason without any justification. >> if elected mayor the city comp troller will end stop and frisk but new york city councilman says that would be a big mistake. the comp troller, welcome. good luck to both of you. why would you "smoking stops frisk.top of thwhy would you ed >> it is a tactic pitting the police against community leaders and members of the pub live and division and distrust h led to much less cooperation between the community and the police and led to a spike in lawsuits and claims by the community against the nypd and distracting resources from it
10:17 pm
tactics that i believe work like focused deterrents in other cities who have seen reductions in crime and have not resorted to shortstop and frisk. >> we had 414 last year. if we had chicago's. over 4,000 here in new york city. it doesn't work in other cities and it the a big reason stop and frisk and one of the reasons we do have the lower murder rate. two days ago a shooting. a gang banger follows other individuals and police use their experience and followed him and observed him make a move to his waist and they approached and he shoots at them and shoot back and get him. in chicago and detroit three other individuals are dead. a little child killed a drive biand then you make the arrest. in new york city you get the gun and stop the killing. there have been reductions in other cities as well. talk about the numbers because the mayor and police commissioner often cited the
10:18 pm
numbers. in 20002 there were 587 murders and 9 p thousand stop and frisks. 2011, 515 murders. a slight reduction from the 587 but there were 685,000 stop and frisks. what i have a problem with is when you read about almost 700,000 people being stopped and frisked almost all of whom have done nothing wrong because those are the statistics you expect to read that about a third world dictatorship. not in north america certainly not here in new york city. the cost is the racial profiling aspect. it is hard to guy that there is racial profiling when almost everyone being stopped is brown or black. >> geraldo: do you have a response to that, councilman? >> the arguement that the controller is makingnd and he is a friend of mine actually. >> we ride harleys together.
10:19 pm
>> geraldo: that makes three of us. >> the argument is that people should be stopped based on how they exist in the population or this is a racist program. that would mean 50% of the people be stopped should be women. it is not a racist policy. the police department is the most diverse in the entire universe. the people making stops, the majority of minority. when you look at open complaint reports the people that do the stopping are the same groups the people are pointing out. >> geraldo: this is my situation. i think that here you have a mayor who was a republican and later became an independent. a democrat and then a republican and. >> we don't know what the next step is. >> geraldo: a if a liberal democrat is elected and i wish you the best, you have done a fine job as controller. >> we will make big changes here in new york. >> geraldo: but i think one of the changes i am afraid of is you will end stop and frisk and
10:20 pm
why is it directed at latino and black kids because they are the ones doing the shooting and dock the bleeding and the dying. look at chicago. my goodness, if you need any more of an example look at philadelphia. north philadelphia they call it killadelphia. it is like the tsa at the airport searching the old ladies and people in the wheel chair because they don't want to be guilty of racial profiling. you have to rayial profile a race. >> there is no excuse for racial profiling. >> geraldo: what if the statistics you are a mayor and the murder starts ticking up what will you do? >> if it was true you that a lot of people stopped and frisked were guilty of something or the police could even issue them a summons and then you combine that with the fact that the racial [ indiscernible ] parities are there that possibly is excusable. >> geraldo: last year chicago had four in a day and chicago is one third the size of new york. >> pick and choose some other.
10:21 pm
>> new orleans. detroit. >> it is a very weak excuse to have this kind of tactic where again it is racial profiling because almost everybody being stopped and frisked is black or brown. be even in predominantly white neighborhoods and the fact that almost everybody being stopped and frisked has done nothing wrong. >> i wrote the antiracial profiling law in new york city and you cannot stop somebody based on race. even with stop and frisk you can only stop somebody based on reasonable suspicion of committing a crime. racial stops are wrong. are happening? a few are. we had a bad cop once that killed his wife. of course, some bad cops are happening. we have to keep the constant monitoring and constant hearings. it is a strain on the cops and community. >> it is not a strain. we want to keep driving crime down. >> geraldo: come trolling good luck.

of the senate gun control bill. still, joe the plumber is raffling off his ar 15. why are you raffling off the gun? >> i want to encourage americans to stand firm in the face of political correctness because that is the battle coming all about control and kind of like the previous guests about the nanny state. it is not to infringe upon our right because some strange lunatic decided to kill people. you don't sit there and take the rights from americans. and these guys barack obama has taken a page from rahm emanuel's book to take advantage of a crisis to try to disarm citizens. i have been a gun owner my life. i take the kids out hunting and we practice. my family feels secure. and as far as the ban on a 30 round clip. there is not enough rounds out there to protect my family and for him to sit there and say

their first date? >> yeah. >> geraldo: that was their first date? i did not know that. >> so this hbo film it murders the truth like phil specter murdered lana. it as scam on the american public. this is a shameful situation. shame on david for writing this. shame on barry levinson for making a quick buck on it and shame most of all on the hbo executives who greenlighted this. it has nothing to do with the truth. but it also brings an insult to our dear friend lana clarkson and that is why i'm here. the friends are lana clarkson made up of 50 people in the entertainment business who knew her, loved her and worked with her. this film is -- starts out with a screen misnomer that says this is actually not really based on truth it is fiction
10:55 pm
and a myth logical sort of a thing. they were forced to do that because of two years we have been fighting this film and what it is about. you can't say it as fiction when you are using real people's names. >> geraldo: what is your biggest beef edward? what is the biggest beef about it? >> the biggest beef is that it portrays lana clarkson as being responsible for are her own death. this trial was two years. two different trials. a jury convict #-d him. this movie takes away any kind of faith in the american jury system. all of the evidence that dr. baden and his wife which is still we don't understand the conflict of interest, how can a wife bring in a forensic expert who was paid $103,000 for his testimony which the brilliant district attorney allen jackson brought out in the trial, how can you even be part of this
10:56 pm
fall lacy? can't is your cake and eat it both, hbo. >> geraldo: you made a big charge there. dr. michael baden he is suggesting that you altered your testimony for money. you can respond directly to the charge but i would also like you to tell us why you thought there was ambiguity about whether she killed herself. >> he looked at it differently than i looked at it. i saw the preview. has nothing to do with what he is talking about. has nothing to do with determining whether lana clarkson was guilty of homicide or accidental self-inflicted which was testified to by various experts in the first trial because nobody can kill somebody hom homicideally by putting a gun in his mouth. that happens even playing around with it for example. nothing to do with the film. what he was talking about in the film between al pacino and
10:57 pm
helen miron was the constant attention between the celebrity, between public emotions and forensic science. because the forensic science which i testified to and i was called in on day one and i was present and participated in the autopsy on lana clarkson. my wife came in about two or three years later well beyond my involvement in the case. >> geraldo: so your wife didn't bring you in, you were in? >> i was brought in on day one by the attorneys that the time. >> geraldo: so dose edward owe you an apology? >> he is wrong and sure, he owes me. i didn't get $103,000. but he makes up things i see from this. the first contact i have seen. >> excuse me, excuse me. may i interrupt. >> geraldo: let him finish. >> and what mammoth dose brilliantly in the film is to show the conflict that happened
10:58 pm
in many cases. this is not lanaing clarkson at issue here and he doesn't make it lana clarkson at issue. he makes it attention in all homicides between -- the tension in all homicides between the forensic science, emotions and in this case celebrity. >> geraldo: edward, go ahead. >> okay. shame on you, dr. baden. you know that you were paid. allen jackson said in front of the jury and me. >> geraldo: then he was wrong. he was wrong. >> no, no, no. >> then he was wrong. you did this for free? >> no, i wasn't paid the amount that you said. much less than that. i was an expert and i participated in the autopsy. >> let's talk about what we are really upset about is this trial making it look like a 40-year-old beautiful person named lana clarkson had nothing better to dothan to blow her brains out. >> it doesn't say that at all.
10:59 pm
that is not in there at all. >> it does say it. >> did you see the movie? >> yes, i did. >> okay. >> i have seen the movie twice. we were at the l.a. screening. and it shows. >> geraldo: i thought you protested outdoors? >> we were inside. >> you are sure you saw the film? you are sure you saw the film? >> i have a copy of the film. i have the film. >> geraldo: you may have is it physically. you did watch the movie? >> i saw the movie. and that is why i'm here today, okay. i saw the movie. >> geraldo: you were pro. >> you were protesting before we saw the movie. >> because we knew what was going to happen. we have been working on two years and we have been writing to everybody on the set. >> specter was convicted the second time and doing 19 years to life. edward you are dear friend of hers. hers.
